As an adult, it would certainly be an outstanding discovery if this did matter. Which is why I'm skeptical about these supposed glasses. Sounds like snake oil, quacks like snake oil.

For children, teenagers and young adults: maybe. It's all about the eye shape, and children's bodies are still in development.
How about the old laws are removed before new ones are added? If every knee-jerk law is kept on the books we end up with, well, what we have now and it isn't working.

IMO:

1. Remove all the knee-jerk laws from 9/11

2. Come back and ask again
OK so even that will be hard to break into except as a wider bandwidth option which would have some applications the HFT, but it'd be hard since latency is king there.

Maybe with that out of the picture other uses like telepresence for remote surgery can edge in. I've been waiting for a while for that to really take off seems like an awesome way to provide services you couldn't afford to to remote places.
What I find interesting is that the bullet points at the end are qualities that really good Product/Project Managers have. When engineers have these skills they become a real force multiplier for their company
Yup. I think there is room for a lot more transparency and "double-checks" so to speaks built into voting going forward. Allow each voter to audit their own vote. We have the technology to allow for this to happen so there really is no excuse. This is really how you build confidence is the voting system. Anyone who is truly skeptical can cast their own vote and double-check it though the system.

I know quite a few people that fully believe that voting is effectively a sham now.
Ok, we've edited the title above to make it clear that it's a treatment device.
Externalizing your problems to others isn't right either.

Being upset is one of the way we signal that social mores have been violated. Making statements about how it would be good if everyone behaves is another.

Rejecting them and saying 'not my problem' is part of the problem.
> And yet most people's code (in my team at least) after 6-7 hours of work tend to be crap and is usually refactored later when they are fresh.

I've observed that, and it's definitely the case for me too - but often, the choice isn't between crappy code in a day vs. good code in two - it's a choice between crappy code in a day and no code at all.

> For it to count as "constant" in humans it has be in periods smaller than what period of time the individual can stay focused... Which is anywhere between 30 minutes and 1 hour, for most people.

Don't forget to count the time it takes to spool up to achieve focused productivity. Which can easily be 30 minutes or more.
The scale of consequences of changes to mosquito DNA is far more predictable then that of chemical water treatment, which, among other things, can and does influence the mosquito genome.

If you want perfect knowledge of everything in all details, then all consequences of every action are unpredictable. Limiting that to only the technology you dislike is unreasonable.
Ok, we'll use that above. Thanks!
My point is any theory that can't be validated or invalidated is bullshit. So there is no point to it other than intellectual masturbation.

Fansubbers work for the shows they love while the commercial distributors just pick the cheapest option to get the thing done ASAP, don't matter how sh*tty the result is. There is no chance for quality here.

The same happens with Blurays x rips streams: piracy is the best option (no DRM, no unskippable screens, no ads, no regional restrictions).

Things like single-sign on or social networking where you toss some JavaScript from api.example.com on your page and it does things like automatically log you in or display messages you might have.

I see this is as a tragedy of the commons problem: it's kind of nice to have, say, a counter of unread Disqus messages but the relative value of that compared to the use by tracking companies is hard to ignore.
I think you are contorting the comment to mean something it doesn't mean. "every" is the keyword there. Not every programmer needs to know how memory works. Some programmers should know. I don't need to know for 99.99999999% of the work I do. But even that 0.00000001% it is debatable. I write code that runs on target systems. I can evaluate its performance on the target system. Now if I had to write software for a system and speed was critical and I could choose the type of memory to use, then you bet I would be reading up on this subject.
Military inter-satellite links deliberately choose laser wavelengths that do not propagate well through Earth's atmosphere. Such links could only be intercepted from a space-borne platform. I have no idea what laser wavelength StarLink is using, so it may not apply here.

I have no doubt that (like every other geo-mobile satellite constellation) the system allows for "port mirroring" on point-to-point links, or (more likely) relays everything through a ground station even when doing so has performance implications. This allows them to fulfill their obligation to government(s) surveillance.
I don’t understand why that’s a catch 22 as it seems to me that the outcomes are different depending on the choice they make.

This looks like household incomes, not incomes for individual earners. There has been a huge rise in double income households - i.e. households where there are two working adults. In the 60's 25% of households were double income, compared to ~60% now. If incomes are up 40%, but it requires a commensurate increase in work, is that really an improvement?

On StackOverflow there is a simple, objective measure for judging answers and posts by. Namely “Does this answer actually solve my specific problem?” If there are syntax errors or if the answer plain just doesn’t solve the problem it won’t get upvoted or selected as the correct answer.

On Twitter what objective measure are you going to use to evaluate “The election was stolen by widespread voter fraud”? The news? Half of the country believes that “liberal” news is full of lies and the other half thinks the same of “conservative” news.

Strong +1 to every part of this... except that I don't even have ADHD and still find exercise mind-numbingly boring. :)

Like you, Andy, and many others, I am not a "rower" but I do use a rower at home to stay in shape with minimal time spent doing so.

I also use a C2 and am hesitant to move off of it. I use a few connected rowing apps, mostly Asensei and Kinomap. They don't deliver a Peloton level of experience but they are good enough to stay motivated and there is no vendor lock-in on the hardware side, which is important to me as this is a nascent industry and I don't believe that all entrants will be winners.

While I have no interest whatsoever in buying another hardware platform, I would gladly pay $40/mo for an amazing software platform for the C2.
Well sure, if we're going to conflate arguments in good faith with arguments in bad faith, we won't really get anywhere... the point is that without doing manual recounts it's hard to gather evidence of possible flaws in an electronic count, and you can't always count on the recount happening. In contrast, Georgia's recount did happen, so they were able to gather evidence, and didn't find any... so yes, of course that's a different thing entirely.
I mean, it's still rational for professions too. If you make gamble and lose, then you just need to work a little longer to catch back up. But if you win, then you might never need to actually work again.

Throwing $500-1000 a month into OTM options trading can generate life-changing amounts of money. That's like the lease payment on a 3 Series BMW. So it's pretty sustainable for working pros.

There are lots of fascinating problems to solve.

The telemetry and tracking itself for the laser links. All the satellites need fairly accurate orbital information from all other satellites; there will be several thousand satellites capable of performing autonomous orbital adjustments to avoid debris and for their own station keeping. There has to be a convenient and reliable fallback for automatically syncing satellites with the rest of the network after a reboot or loss of communication.

The packet network needs to maintain an efficient routing table and provide low packet loss to end-users. My guess is that the only practical choice will be establishing a large number of point-to-point channels with their own retry/error-correction management. TCP/IP isn't capable of dealing with more than about 1% packet loss and I doubt raw optical/wireless links will be reliable enough especially with topology changes, requiring extensive store-and-forward hardware to buffer transmissions waiting for a reliable route or de-duplicating multicast packets at the receiving end. Reassembly and de-duplication on receipt is theoretically feasible; if a tight reception window can be maintained then specialized hardware could filter duplicates sent over 2 or 3 redundant routes to a local receiver without increasing observed latency or using unreasonable amounts of RAM. A combination approach could allow a tradeoff between using double or triple the raw bandwidth but providing low-latency reliability vs. higher latency with retries while maximizing throughput depending on the current network load. It could also be hardcoded for different traffic classes.

I'm not involved in this problem space in any technical capacity but it sounds like a very fun set of problems to solve.
It can be overlayed at the correct place, without blending into the picture.

For instance translating the text on a piece of paper by writing the translation above the piece of paper.

How it is written in this case, in charcoal, on the paper, in perspective, seamlessly blending into the paper, makes it seem as if, for whatever reason, the same text was written twice on the paper in English and Japanese.

It's even more unnerving when the text be written and the English pencil charcoal appears out of thin air next to the Japanese charcoal that emerges from a pencil.
Yes, random values would be more unique, but if those values are changed on each request, wouldn't that make me harder to track?

For example suppose my user agent string (and canvas fingerprint, accept header, etc) was different on every request. Would this be enough to stop ad networks from correlating each of my very-unique requests, and prevent them from tracking me across different pages?
Ever heard of the Panama Papers?
I was present on a talk about the EU given by an UK official back in 2014. At that time the person didn't even knew how many members the EU had (Croatia was just admitted) and they were pretty open that they are not really interested to know. When I've been to the UK, two years earlier, a bus driver that I talked to was afraid that eastern europeans will come and take his job. I perfectly well know the UK relationship with the EU, but trust me when I tell you that giving some numbers does not reflect reality. Maybe because the UK considered itself a winner in WWII and wasn't ruined from it like France and Germany, or maybe because of Soros and black Wednesday, or for whatever reason,but Brittan was never a cornerstone of the EU the way France and Germany are, which is the thing the GP was trying to imply and I definitely disagree.

I used to work in HPC/Grid but it's been a while but I do remember Condor being clunky even though it had its uses.

And the commercial grid offerings couldn't scale to almost 10k nodes back then (am not sure about now, or if they even exist anymore)
> The problem is it - not the lawsuit itself, but the public perception of it - could come back to bite the other side.

That's a valid concern when you're dealing with a good-faith actor. But if voting machines are open-source (which I heartily support), they'll move on to baselessly discrediting something else to shape public perception. The problem isn't the technology per se. The problem is we're not dealing with a good-faith actor.

Some months ago I started using mediawiki to keep a private knowledge base.

It's way smaller than the OP, but since I'm the only reader, I can allow my self to be either as detailed as I need or just have some quick notes and some link.

After moving together with my SO, she started creating pages too, and we often work together on page (it's a joy to save the recipes we like the most).

And I must say... It's a pleasure. As soon as I do something neat, I feel the urge to take a note bout it so that I don't have to google stuff again in the future.

When I wonder the details about that thing I did in the past... My wiki immediately helps me. It's really a joy.

And since we moved together in our own place, it kinda helps with the house too. We started collecting pdf manuals of all the appliances we bought, and by using PDF widgets I can get a quick view of the manual from my browser without downloading it.

All things about the building, city council, public administrations? We've got pages for that.

To-do lists? A wiki page is not the first thing one would think about, but as long as you're checking it out from time to time it works just fine.

Page trees? Just use sub-pages, maybe categories too.

The visual editor is a godsend.

Media shows nicely in pages (think of wikipedia).

So to sum up:

1. keep your own wiki, even a private one.

2. you don't necessarily need the "best" system, you need a system that works well on things you care about (I care for the documental management aspect of mediawiki and the easy/functional inclusion of various media -- i was initially tempted to just buy a confluence self-hosted license).
It's absolutely relevant. Adams is taking snippets of videos completely out of context to try to tell a story. He's known to do this. And just watching the start of the video that's exactly what he's doing here.

Why would anyone waste their time tracking down the original videos when they already know, out of the gate, that he's taken things out of context? That's a waste of everyone's time, and EXACTLY why he's doing what he's doing. He knows most people won't bother to fact check his lies.

The correct course of action is to tell everyone what he does, and until he proves he's changed his stripes and starts acting in good faith, to ignore him.

It sounds like you're aware that, according to official statistics, homelessness is higher per capita in Australia than in California or the US as a whole. I'm open to the idea that this might be due to definitional or measurement problems, but you've gotta explain what those problems are, not just assert that they must exist.

The obvious alternative explanation is that Americans might simply be less tolerant of measures to decrease the visibility of homeless.
They just rebranded it as "AI-powered profanity filter" :)
